A six-year collaboration between cartographers from the University of Oregon and wildlife biologists from the University of Wyoming has resulted in the publication this fall of “Wild Migrations: Atlas of Wyoming’s Ungulates.”

With maps, photos and words, the volume documents the seasonal journeys of mule deer, pronghorn antelope, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, bison and other hooved mammals across the vast landscapes of Wyoming and adjacent Western states.

Two Ducks led the project: Matthew Kauffman, a 1992 UO biology graduate and a professor of wildlife biology at Wyoming, and Jim Meacham, a senior research associate in geography and executive director of the UO’s InfoGraphics Lab.

The authors will share stories from the atlas at a book-signing event from 6:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27, in the Knight Library Reading Room.
